Smith & Wollensky: A Columbus Favorite for Fine Dining
Serving up prime beef steaks that are aged in-house for a deliciously robust flavor, Smith & Wollensky Restaurant in Columbus has been a pillar of Columbus dining since its opening in 2002. Regarded as one of the city's finest eating establishments, Smith & Wollensky features upperclass dining in a relaxing atmosphere that is perfect for impressing a dinner date, the in-laws, event guests, co-workers or even important clients.
Residing in the Easton Town Center shopping complex, Smith & Wollensky features dramatic oak carpentry that greets you as soon as you walk through the vintage revolving oak door. White tablecloths and dim candlelight make Smith & Wollensky the perfect destination for an experience that will really knock your socks off.
To start your meal, try Smith & Wollensky's delicious tomato and Bufala mozzarella salad with fresh, briny mozzarella cheese, juicy, ripe heirloom tomatoes and freshly cut basil. A flavorful bowl of tomato and onion soup is also a tasty choice.
If you love lobster, Smith & Wollensky's never disappoints. The impressive menu features lobster tails from several international locations, including South Africa, Australia and even Tristan Island. All varieties are served with fresh clarified butter.
If fish is your favorite, you'll have to try the freshly-grilled varieties that are so fresh that they were swimming yesterday. Halibut, wild salmon, and tuna all make appearances hot-off-the-grill. Try them topped with your favorite seasoning like Cajun, lemon zest, olive oil, sweet chili and sesame teriyaki.
Steak and poultry lovers can truly rejoice as well. Prime-cut filet mignon with gorgonzola crust and truffled macaroni and cheese; marinated Cajun ribeye with creamed spinach; lemon pepper chicken with whipped potatoes and American lamb chops with steamed vegetables are among the favorites of loyal Smith & Wollensky customers.
Smith & Wollensky offers facilities for business presentations, rehearsal dinners and private dinner parties. Business dress is required in the main facility, but the dress code is relaxed in the lounge area. Reservations are helpful, especially on busy weekends.
